Gazboy, Phillarge sold his turbo mx5 and bought an elise about 2 months ago.

As the "Japmiester" Gazboy has said, get over to japchat...

Speed is question of money. How fast do you want to go?

I also like this one, the sig of Bob Hall, one of the men involved with the original conception of the MX5: "If you cant go fast with 90bhp, 900 isn't going to help."

Hey up join the club

I'm running an HKS Turbo'd 5, some more tweaks as we speak to break the 200 barrier. Only my nasty clunky Cusco 2 way diff means I'm running out of halfshafts at an alarming rate.

You can pick up used turbo kits on ebay cheap enough, just make sure they are genuine sellers.

That doesn't mean I've forgotten everything, Simon
I'm looking for another one at the moment as it happens - I need a new project. This flippin' Elise is not really mod friendly, I'd rather keep it unmolested and have something to tinker with as well

Sorry mate, wasn't implying that, I wasn't sure if you where still frequenting the jap forums thats all.

Phil or Benjc have/did you guys got the FM spring perch mounts on your 5's? My suspensions too uncomfortable I'm hoping this will make it more comfortable.
